I had the Legal Department handle the matter with Vice President Yu. Vice President Yu was aware that he had made a mistake and took the initiative to take responsibility, stating that he would handle the compensation issue entirely. He assured us that our company would receive the maximum possible compensation. I agreed, as I had other matters to attend to.
I reached out to the second potential partner manufacturer. Upon hearing the quantity we needed, they immediately offered us a price that was half of what our current supplier was charging. I hung up the phone feeling satisfied. Thanks to my timely response, the vegetable supply at the supermarket was sufficient for the morning market the next day. Citizens were able to purchase vegetables without any issues related to price increases.
However, Yang Mo was not planning to let me off easily. Just as the vegetable price increase issue was resolved, another problem arose. The next day, rumors began circulating wildly on social media, claiming that supermarkets under Shi Group were selling counterfeit goods.
"Isn't this a scam?"
"I often shop there!"
"How could such a large company as Shi Group do something like this?"
"Is there a mistake? Shi Group is a leading enterprise in our area."
"Shi Group used to be great, but I heard they've changed management; who knows who's running the company now."
"Didn't the former CEO of Shi Group change his family's surname to Yang?"
"Shi Group is finished!"
Upon seeing the news, I immediately instructed Mingyue to take professionals to investigate the supermarket. In the end, it turned out that only the mobile phones had issues.
I immediately had someone draft a solution. I instructed the Public Relations Department to issue a statement to retrieve the phone, offering a full refund and an additional supermarket gift card. Then, I called for a press conference to publicly apologize. Of course, the most important step was self-examination and correction. I did not spare anyone related to this incident.
Soon, the unfavorable situation improved. After all, we were the first company to identify the problem, apologize promptly, and provide a solution. The citizens were quite forgiving; they accepted our apology. However, this matter was not over yet. Next, I needed to start cleaning up the company.
I had people investigate everyone connected to Yang Mo, both directly and indirectly, leaving no stone unturned. Then, I dealt with them all at once. This was not just about resolving the company's issues; it was also about giving consumers an explanation and providing Mingyue with a relatively clean company.
As for Vice President Yu... Vice President Yu was demoted and is now just an ordinary employee. He is getting older and unable to keep up with innovation; his thinking is too conservative, making him unsuitable to continue as Deputy General Manager.
So, I contacted a headhunting company and recruited a PhD who had five years of executive experience on Wall Street and recently returned to develop his career in China. His name is Qi Yichen, thirty-five years old and quite accomplished. When I met him, I discovered that he had some connections with my daughter Mingyue.
He is a senior from Mingyue.
"Hello."
I smiled at him and said, "From now on, I will be relying on you."
Qi Yichen's expression was calm as he pushed up his glasses, his voice cool.
"Mr. Shi is too polite."
"It's what I should do."
His demeanor was quite similar to Mingyue's personality.
I couldn't help but glance at him again.
Hmm, they seem to match well.
I wasn't sure if my expression was too obvious or if Qi Yichen was just very perceptive.
He suddenly spoke up, "Mr. Shi, don't worry. I will assist the young lady well."
I was speechless.
Well, let's deal with the matter at hand first.
I waved my hand, asking Mingyue to step out for a moment, then instructed the secretary to bring in the documents.
